摘要

The Node-Place (NP) model is a relevant tool in assessing and categorizing the metro stations in regard to their twin functions of being a node of transport and a place in the city. First developed by Bertolini in the late 1990s, the NP model explicitly aims at land use-transportation balance in cooperative development in urban areas. It classifies station areas according to two main dimensions: node value, which describes the access and connectivity of the station in the transport network, and place value, which refers to the density and diversity of the activities around the station. There is an added third dimension system support that quantifies in what intensity the quality of the integration of local stations within the general urban system can be considered, concerning aspects such as network centrality and land use planning. This extended model will be able to analyse the metro stations using the multi-source data using the GIS techniques that enable better Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) strategies. This ability of the model to spot categories of stations according to transport and land use interactions adds not only to the realm of urban planning but also enriches the possibility of sustainable urban regeneration. The analytical framework thus enables stakeholders to achieve a better understanding of the dynamics between transport infrastructure and urban development for better policy decisions and enhanced urban environments.
